    Only to avoid solo queue when I can't be bothered with it anymore, or I don't feel like holding m1 for a collective 3-4 minutes of my time in-game. Otherwise, I'll play survivor but derank every game at end-game or when it's a nurse/legion/plague.

    Wins as defined by the game. I may be completely wrong though, although the coincidence would be eerie.

    Has 2004 a special meaning?

    What is defined as a win by the game? The emblem system? A 4K? A 3K?

    Do you not know how to loop the haddonfield houses or what? Also I really like how you latched onto THE ONE map you think you can prove me wrong about. Lmao.

    Still questioning how Prove Thyself is still in the game...

    Three kills or more for the killer, one or less for the survivors.

    Yes, I've been playing mostly killer since the update released. I tried survivor (I mainly play solo) the past two nights and that was a miserable experience. Tunneling and camping killers and incompetent teammates that would rather crouch in a corner than do gens or help their teammates. Solo Survivors needs buffs direly.

    Actually I thought so too. However I am playing more survivor right now.

    I get more BP for it, I can now prestige my characters and I like the new mini BT. Getting unhooked without BT was always a major letdown for me and now my team is no longer able to do that.

    Also I no longer get flamed for not bringing certain perks. I always enjoyed off-meta perks and weird builds but my survivors mates would quit often flame me for using them. This is mostly gone by now and I get to enjoy using Deja Vu, Empathic Connection + Botany Knowledge or Overcome + Build to Last with a good MedKit.

    SoloQ could still use help but right now I am having more fun.

    Tell that to the devs, they make the rules. (I would go for hooks for killers, and ... I'm not actually sure for survivors. Or maybe score, I don't know.)

    I hope everyone switches to Killer.

    When queue times get even longer, maybe the Dev's will realize they way over-tuned things this patch.

    Solo survivor hasn't changed much at all for me, never ran the meta perks that got demolished and the basekit BT has me now running Kindred or trying out new 4th perks. The added gen time isn't really noticeable to me since in Solo I try to co-op as much as possible anyway. The only thing making it slightly more challenging is the shorter distance I gain after getting hit but I can usually draw the first health state out for a while before it comes to that anyway.

    In solo I escape or guarantee a teammates escape by hook trading around half the time at, what I assume is, medium MMR depending on how altruistic I feel like playing or if I just play selfish in endgame.

    yup killer is so much easier and stress free while survivor is just not fun anymore and full stress and frustration. most of my survivor games ends with death and more death

    I’ve always been a killer main, I don’t like how much downtime survivor has on the gens or dying on the ground or hook. And I also like doing the chases better in first person perspective (just a personal playstyle thing, I totally get that being in third person is tactical advantage.) And killers have way more variety of game mechanics to play with.

    I doubt even the bloodpoint bonuses will get me to play survivor, but who knows? Maybe some day I’ll give Ace a try again. (I liked the idea of doing a Chest Plunder Ace build, seemed fun to just go in with a toolbox, use it up first gen, find a chest quickly and get another good item hopefully and use it, rinse and repeat. 🙂)
